Abstract excerpt
Mutant gunmetal (gm/gm) mice exhibit prolonged bleeding, platelet granule defects, abnormal megakaryocyte demarcation membranes, and thrombocytopenia. The number of megakaryocytes in gm/gm mice is increased substantially. Also, the percentage of gm/gm megakaryocytes exhibiting emperipolesis is increased. However, the number of emperipolesed cells per megakaryocyte is not. EC are of several hematopoietic lineages,...
